Chrysler Sebring Problem

Ok, lets see if this stumps anybody!

I'm sitting in my house and I hear a horn go off, I look outside and its my 2005 Sebring. It was like someone was just laying on the horn, one long horn sound. I pushed the panic button, then it was on & off w/ lights blinking. I pushed it again and it stopped. WIERD!!!

It doesn't have an alarm, but it does have a panic button. The keys were on the counter, and I live alone, so no one pushed the panic button on the key ring. This has happened twice in the last 3/4 days.

same problem, but goes off intermittently and keeps blowing! I called chrysler. for $100 (to look at it), they MIGHT fix it if for free. anyone want to place bets?chrysler sebring touring convertible:

I had this happen last winter. Dealer replaced the horn relay in the steering wheel. It was under warranty, the dealer stated the cost would be about $300. The part had to be ordered and took 2 days to come in. It will get worse and eventually get stuck which is a real trip at 3am. There is a relay that you can remove thats under the panel on the drivers side dash that will disable the horn. After investigating this online I found its a pretty common problem with this years model and usually happens when there is a temperature change to cold.

I have a 2005 Chrysler Sebring Touring 2.7 V6 SEDAN and I am having the same Issue but mine does not do it when it is cold..it does it during the heat of the say...I am in hot humid Houston, Tx...I eventually disconnected my horn only to purchase a push botton horn kit and installed it...I still havent figured out why it did this. Is there a recall on this model.I have a 2005 Chrysler Sebring Touring 2.7 V6 SEDAN and I am having the same Issue but mine does not do it when it is cold..it does it during the heat of the say...I am in hot humid Houston, Tx...I eventually disconnected my horn only to purchase a push botton horn kit and installed it...I still havent figured out why it did this.

Depending on how the car is driven (outside temp, towing, stop and go, dusty, etc...) the maintenance schedule states either 90.000 miles or 120,000 miles. If any one harsh driving condition applies, chrysler recommends 90,000 miles. The only mention of the tensioner needing replaced is if the belt was damaged due to misalignment.
Hope this helps.
